Roses have been used universally since ancient Grecian times, but the yellow-hued variety only made their appearance around 1900. For the most their history, the only colors available in great quantities were the reds and pinks and, to a small extent, white,but, once this beautiful variation was found to grow naturally in the Middle East, its
popularity soon began to spread far and wide. Today it is considered to be one of the most highly prized bouquet flowers and you will see them adorn many settings.Same day delivery flowers available by our local Toronto florist.

yellow roses Smell?
Surprisingly, the early yellow roses did not have the distinctive fragrance of their
crimson cousins. But around this time, there was extensive experimentation with
hybrid varieties and the humble yellow rose was soon awarded an elevated olfactory
status on the same level as their more fragrant relatives. When this change came
about, their popularity was even greater than before, and their vivid, sunny faces
started peeping out from florists’ windows across Europe and America.
Symbolic Significance - Meaning of Yellow roses
Speaking of the sun, the bright hues of this particular rose variety has, for the last
century, been associated with happiness, friendship and warmth. While reds usually
symbolized romantic love and pinks denote admiration and affection, the yellow rose
stands alone in representing purely platonic love that lead to feelings of delight and
joy. The color yellow naturally presupposes a sunny disposition, and it is this very
trait that these flowers are famous for.
A bunch of yellow roses can brighten anyone’s mood and this is exactly how roses
were used; however, in Europe the color carried a darker significance – one of
jealousy and love at death. Over the years, these somber overtones were gradually
replaced with what they represent today: unconditional love and immense joy and
happiness. To gift a bouquet of yellow roses signifies a bond stronger than the
life force that attaches a soul to its body. But negative symbolism still abounds:
in Mexico, the yellow rose is an unmistakable mark of death; in Islam, it signified
adultery, deceit and treachery; in France it represents infidelity. Though these
connotations are rarely allured to in modern times, it shows the emotional power that
this brilliantly colored flower wields.
